Babe Ruth

The son of a saloon owner, the Sultan of Swat was a champion eater and drinker who frequently went to bat with mustard smeared on his uniform. Ruth's tendency to consume anything within arm's reach even led to his hospitalization in 1925 when the brawny Baltimore native ate 12 hot dogs and drank eight bottles of soda between games of a double-header. Of course, food wasn't his only passion. Ruth reportedly spent so much time partying on the road that Yankees outfielder Ping Bodie once quipped, “I don’t room with Ruth, I room with his suitcase.”
